ssh with 2 accounts in gitlab doesn't work-CodePudding

I'm trying to add 2 ssh keys in my pc to work with 2 gitlab accounts, I created 2 pair of keys and made this "config" file:

# Compte Perso
Host gitlab.com-perso
   HostName gitlab.com
   PreferredAuthentications publickey
   IdentityFile C:\Users\<path>\.ssh\id_rsa_perso

# Compte Pro
Host gitlab.com
   HostName gitlab.com
   PreferredAuthentications publickey
   IdentityFile C:\Users\<path>\.ssh\id_rsa

When I type ssh -T [email protected] and ssh -T [email protected], it works I have the output Wlecome to Gitlab, <username>!, but when I try to clone like this git clone [email protected]:<username>/<reponame>.git

it says

Unable to open connection:
Host does not existfatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

I know the repo can be cloned because I already cloned it in another pc with ssh but I don't understand why this doesn't work please help me. I have followed this to make my config file. (it's in french)

CodePudding user response：

First, you can add User git in each of your entries. That way, you can use gitlab.com-perso:<usernassh -T [email protected]>/<reponame>.git without the git@

Second, make sure ssh -T [email protected] return the right account, because if seems from your question both return the same username.

Host does not exist

Double check your host entry: gitlab.com-perso should use the right '-': you might have used a '—' (a long dash) instead of the expected double hyphen (or hyphen-minus).

CodePudding user response：

Quick google search search for your error message reveals that this problem may be related to "Little Snitch" software - if you use it disable and try again.

Also, on Windows machines you may need to modify windows system environment variables

GIT_SSH=C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\ssh.exe

as you can see in this StackOverflow thread

If none of this works, there are couple of other ideas out there. It's a good idea to try at least couple of them and collect some more verbose output so we can help you better if still needed.
